In the meantime I finished the plums and they are ready! 3 kg does take some time. Let’s hope it’s enough! Recipe said 2.5 kg, but my experience is that you want them tight on the cake, so better get some more.

The dough has been rolled out and needs another period of rest before we add the Zwetschgen.

Ok, had far too many Zwetschgen. Couldn’t come close to fit them all in. I guess I will make some Stew with them to have with Müsli in the mornings.

And it’s done! Last step: sprinkle cinnamon sugar over it while still hot. I am going to take it to the house‘s BBQ with the neighbors tonight. An event that was surprisingly organized by the couple living underneath us and without precedent in my 12 years here. Hopefully it will be a fun evening!

Your baking threads inspired me to post about it.

Game knows game. 😊 But I am not sure I have the patience to place all the fruit so precisely. Well done!

The BBQ will be great for the esprit de maison. We have one every year. This year the weather was fantastic. Not too hot, just nice.

It’s almost like they purposely waited for the American to leave …

It's a lost opportunity for them. They could've learnt so much about the benefits of A/C, automatic transmission, and plastic straws. Instead, they just get fresh homemade Zwetschgenkuchen. It's their loss, and everybody can see that.

The event was a big success (I guess because they didn’t know what they missed out on), and so was the Zwetschgendatschi. I have two small pieces left over.
